Too Much Contrave At One Time
Updated
Renee Says:
I took 2 pills this morning. I set out my 2 pills for the afternoon, got distracted, forgot I took the morning set and took the afternoon set. 4 pills at one time, what is my risk?

Hi Renee,
According to nih.gov, the following symptoms are reportedly associated with an overdose of Bupropion (one of the two active ingredients in Contrave):
- Lightheadedness, dizziness, or fainting
- Loss of consciousness
- Slow or irregular heartbeat
- Unusual tiredness
If you notice any of those symptoms, they suggest seeking emergency medical assistance immediately.
As far as Naltrexone is concerned, there are reports by medlineplus.gov stating that it may cause liver damage when taken in large doses. They further note that in case of an overdose, you should call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.
I hope this helps and pray that you haven't had any major complications since the timing of your post.
